Labor Day event honors police

A St. Cloud man is planning a Labor Day event in appreciation of local police and, in his words, “in light of the recent civil unrest in Missouri following the officer-involved shooting of Michael Brown.”

Paul Brandmire, who sought the Republican endorsement this year for a St. Cloud state House seat, is organizing the event.

It will be from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. Monday at the Germain Professional Building, 1411 St. Germain St.

The event is open to all, with a special invitation to area police officers and their families, Brandmire said. He said he plans to grill bratwursts for police officers and their family members who attend.
